A DEMOCRATIC Senator from the South
recently in Washington, said he knew there
was some democratic dissatisfaction With
the administration in bis section. but that
at the next national democratic convention
there will be very few anti-Cleveland demo-
Gratis willing to proclaim themselves as
such. 1t is reported from Washington that
a marked change in the course OF the ad-
ministration toward Southern democrats and
in respect of the so.cailed civil service re-
form. is apparent. II this he so. the dissatis
faction. which the Senator speaks OF may
be dissipated by next July, when the next
national democratic convention will meet,
but if otherwise, The Senator referred 10
will fiud out that he is mistaken, and that
there will not only be many anti-Cleveland
men then, but that few of them, except Con-
gressnen who want official favors, will be
unwilling to proclaim Themselves as such.

ITO what extent has diamond-cut-
ting been developed In this conntry?'
was the query put by the writer to
leading diamond merchant on Maiden
lane.
''Well." was the reply, as yet il can
hardly be considered as an element in
our diamond business. Ii is. i'm fact.
in its infancy, and its beginning dates
back scarcely more than fifteen years.
l presume there are not two hundred
persons at the most engaged in this
branch of the diamond trade, and they
are confined chiefly TO this city and
Boston. There are but few foreigners
among them, for a large number of
American boys have been educated to
the trade within recent years. An
apprenticeship is served, / think. in
about three years. lie is not likely,
however. that the work of polishing
and cutting diamonds will acquire any
substantial position in this country for
many years TO come, mainly because
labor is so much cheaper in Amster-
dam, where whole families are en-
gagged in this trade. Whenever the
demand for the stones is lessened,
these can and do reduce the price To
figure with which il would be utterly
impossible for Americans TO compete.
IL would, OF course, be great advant-
age IL we could bring the diamond
here in its rough state in large quanti-
ties, as we would thereby save the
duty OF 10 per cent. charged on the
cut stones. But at the present time
the quantity of rough diamonds inn
ported is not nearly sufficient 10 make
any appreciablc difference i'm the price,
or TO influence the market in any
respect.
There Is no doubt about our excel
lency in cutting stones. We have de-
veloped n style which TO n certain
extent sacrifices material in shaping
the stone. but il obtains thereby the
best effect. This is what is most de-
sired. The credit of the introduction
of this new style is largely due TO a
Boston man, who was also the first TO
instruct American boys in the art of
cutting and polishing. We have also
made some improvements in ma
chinery, but the best Flaps" for polish
ing diamonds are still imported from
Amsterdam.
1.-THE wages paid to these diamond
cutters may be considered high, and
the more skilled workmen are paid ut
SO much per carat in the rough. The
workmen must have good Judgment
as TO the form in which the stone will
cut the best. Sometimes n great deal
must be cut from the rough stone TO
get rid of imperfections, and again il
is preferable To save material by leav-
ing them. His judgment must decide
whether the stone will be more valu-
able when small without flaw, or
when larger with the flaw. As n
general thing there are always imper-
fections in the rough stones. and the
main thing to be observed in buying
them is whether the flaws can be easily
eradicated. Our city has not yet at
tanned the dignity Of being market
for rough stones, and we still 90 to
Amsterdam, London, and Paris for
our supplies.
Eyes, there are more diamonds sold
in this country than ever before, but
the increase of dealers has been i'm
much larger proportion than that
of the consumers. The demand mt
present is mostly for small diamonds
for making up into ornaments. "-New
York Commercial advertiser.

Penn and the Indians.

A bad man, il he feels that he is
having fair and honorable treatment,
shows the good there Is in him; while
il he thinks that one is trying TO treat
him selfshly or insincercly, the evil in
his nature strongly appears Con-
sideration and fairness have often dis
armed evil intentions. William Penn's
dealing with the Indians in the fol-
lowing serves rs a good illustration:
There were some fertile and excel
lent lands, which, in 1893, Penn rs.
certained were excluded from his first
purchase; and, rs he was very de-
srous of obtaining them, he made
the proposal to the Indians that he
would buy those lands, il they wished
TO sell them.
At first they refused, but finally, TO
please their "father Onas," as they
called Penn, they said that he should
have as much land as young man
could travel round in one day, and as
an equivalent they should receive a
certain amount of English goods.
Though this plan of measuring the
land was OF their own selection, yet
they were greatly dissatisfied with it.
after It had been tried; for the young
man chosen TO walk of the tract OF
land, walked so fast and far as greatly
10 astonish them.
The governor observed this dissat-
isfaction, and asked the cause.
"The walker cheated us, said the
Indians.
"Ah, how can it be?" ask ed Penn
"Did you not choose you rself To
have the land measured in this
wayl"
"True," replied the Indians; "but
white brother made big walk
Some Of Penn's commissioners, wax
Ing warm, said the bargain was fair
one. aud insisted thlt the indians
ought 10 abide by it; aud if not. should
be compelled 20.
"CompeIledr exclaimed Penn, "how
can YOU compel them without blood
skedy Don't YOU see this looks Go
MURDER Then turning with benig-
nant smile TO the Indians he said:
"Well brothers, IL you have given us
too much land for the goods first
agreed on, how much more Will sat
isfy yon.
This proposal gratined them; and
they mentioned tn, quantity of cloth,
and number of fish-hooks, with which
they would be satisfied.
These were cheerfully given; and
the Indians shaking hands with Penn,
went away smiling.
After they were gone, the governor
looking around on his friends, said,
"Some of you spoke just now
Of compelling these poor creatures TO
stick 90 their bargain, that is. in plain
English, 10 fight and kill them, and
all about httle piece Of land"
This fairness characterized all
Penn's dealings with the red men,
and they in consequence were his
warm friends. Youths COMPANION.
